Sorry that I missed your livestream. I used to have the other brand of mapping and I changed over to OnX Off Road mapping and I love it. Too many layers and information on the other one. So much easier to use OnX. You had me excited when you said Arizona. My current location, so if you ever plan to come out to AZ, CO or UT let me know and I will show you around. If you plan on going to Merus Adventure Park in Palo Duro Canyon, TX this year I want to attend as well.

It is defiantly a "permanent solution". once you drill through the top and install this, it is there forever. however it is the only solution I have found that will hold 800+ lbs on the hardtop without installing some sort of "cage system" that hinders the normal removal of the hardtop in the summer. After I drilled and installed this, it works perfect. no leaks, no noises, etc. there is no reason to ever remove this roof rack.

Hey Brett…. The Georgia Traverse is a pretty easy route with tons of changing scenic views and great camping along the way. You can easily take the whole family or a group of friends…. Or just take it on by yourself. You’ll probably need a minimum of 4 days. Make sure you have a chainsaw. There are always trees down across the road. Some can easily be pulled out of the way with your winch but others will need to be cut. Let me know when you go. I am always in that area and would come up to take on parts of it with you.

@RoadRashOffRoad28 күн бұрын
I did....Here's my "hiccup". with my stock wheels on 35's, I had to put a 1.5" spacer on them to make the stock wheels work. When I got these new wheels with a -44 backspace, I was excited to take the wheel spacers off all together and run them straight on the rotor. the problem is that the back of the wheel is bigger round than the Jeep rotor and my calipers stick out past the rotors by about 1/8" which means the back of the wheel was rubbing on the calipers. It requires a wheel spacer. I looked at removing the 1.5" spacer and putting on a small 1/8" spacer but I don't think there will be enough thread for the lug nuts to tighten down properly loosing 1/8" of my post. The wheels do stick out and I am looking at options to bring them back in a bit.
